Thank you, Emilio…especially difficult when out on the trail, too, with the sun being so bright, kneeling/scrunching down into the pathway, trying like hell to keep the camera still…and here we are…ten images later with only three passable/decent ones.

Thank you, Finn…and these photos were taken almost two weeks ago when it was a bit cooler here in the SLC area, even had a bit of snow for two days…but the photos are actually from out on the trail in the mountains, somewhere around 9,000 feet/2,740 meters…

Thank you, Gunta…it is crazy how the crystals form like that. I think you might have visited at least one of the posts, but if you go back to December of last year in my archives, you can see some other pretty cool crystals on the 13th, 16th, and 29th…kinda fascinating. 🙂

Thank you, Allen…they can be hard to photograph, especially when they’re melting. I don’t think the ones in the above photo would last too much longer…the sun had just risen over the trees and I don’t think these had been exposed but just for a few minutes. As I mentioned to Gunta above, there are some other photos of crystals back in my December 2011 archives…some on pine needles, too…you might enjoy them….
